Loni Love Hosts an Evening with a Bigger Purpose
On November 2, 2026, the Not Alone Awards will bring advocates, artists and innovators together at the Encore Theater at Wynn Las Vegas for a celebration centered on mental health and human development. Hosted by Loni Love, the live event is presented by Inspiring Children Foundation and NAMI, with support from the Steven & Alexandra Cohen Foundation. The setting promises a polished entertainment showcase, but the occasion’s purpose reaches beyond the stage: recognizing people working to challenge stigma and help others find support. Learn more through the official Not Alone Awards site and explore the work of NAMI.
A Lineup Where Music Meets Advocacy
The announced lineup spans music, sports, technology and public life, giving the program the feel of a broad cultural gathering rather than a conventional awards night. Jewel is set to join the evening, alongside performers and guests including Anthony Ramos, Mike Posner, DMC, Ray Lewis, Steve Wozniak, Rachel Platten, Bishop Briggs, JP Saxe and Sheila E. That range matters: mental health touches every community, and a stage shared by artists, athletes and advocates can help make the conversation more visible. Further information about the participants is available from IMDb and Billboard.

Breaking Stigma Beyond the Broadcast
The awards are designed to connect recognition with action. Through the #NotAloneChallenge, organizers invite people to help break the stigma around mental health and discover free mental fitness tools and resources. The message is direct without being simplistic: asking for support and checking in with others can be meaningful steps, while professional care and accessible resources remain essential. The challenge can be explored at NotAloneChallenge.org, while the National Institute of Mental Health’s help resources offer information for people seeking support.
A Whole-Human Approach to Well-Being
Inspiring Children Foundation describes its work as a whole-human approach, supporting young people’s physical, social, emotional and mental well-being. That framing gives the event a wider lens than awareness alone: it points toward the everyday environments, relationships and resources that can help people thrive. With the Not Alone Awards streaming live on iHeartRadio’s official YouTube channel, the November gathering aims to carry its message beyond Las Vegas and into homes and communities. More about the foundation’s programs can be found at Inspiring Children Foundation, alongside iHeartRadio.
